rangecheck command line option — at Version 1

Description (last modified by Huw Lewis)

Axel suggests including a '-no_ranchk' command-line option for tools such as ropp_fm_bg2ro_1d to switch off rangechecking on writing output (see attached).

Axel writes:

I think this is very important, in particular when you work with large data sets (as I do). I regularly concatenate them into one archive per day or month, and this is not possible when the number of levels changes. So I suggest to include this in an updated ROPP version.

This could be implemented in a similar way in other stand-alone tools.

Description: modified (diff)
Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Added '-no_ranchk' command line option to all ropp_pp, ropp_fm and ropp_1dvar tools to suppress rangechecking on data input and output as suggested. This option is not available for ropp_io tools since we want to be more restrictive on when/where rangechecking is appropriate (e.g. thinner etc). See e.g. [2282].

The '-no_ranchk' option is (purposely) not fully documented in the User Guide, but is documented in the 'usage' output provided with each tool and available mainly for 'super-users' such as Axel.

Ticket closed as fixed.
